Do you own a relatively new business that has been struggling to stay afloat in the hostile year that 2020 was? Maybe you managed to do okay overall, but not as well as you had originally hoped and forecasted. It’s only natural to have big goals and milestones for the upcoming year, but without some changes to the business itself, the odds of success and reaching those goals are limited.

Freelancers face the same challenges every day, and one of their biggest problems is staying focused at work. When you’re the one responsible for your schedule, it’s kind of hard to balance everything when you’re at home. On top of that, there are more distractions at home than when you’re at the office. You can scroll through social media whenever you want because there’s no boss telling.
